Not sure if this is the right forum, but was wondering if anyone had experience with writing a cost estimate for the temporary housing of plants. It would be fewer than 100 plants so a relatively small effort but we were asked for a cost quote and I wanted to have a justifiable answer.
Hi Katie, thanks for the questions. My organization was asked to house ~80 individuals of two rare plants (one state listed, another of interest) that will be salvaged from public land while a transmission line is put in place. A few of the salvaged individuals will eventually be passed onto researchers and the rest will either be reestablished in the wild or moved to an ex situ living collection.
